Converting Your File To The Correct Format

First, you should know that in order to make an audio CD to
play in your car or home CD player, you will need to make this file a 44.1 16
bit Stereo file. You can record into the system in whatever flavor makes
you happy, but in the end, if you want to put this material on CD, you'll need
to convert to Stereo 16 bit 44.1. Most folks just record at this
rate...saves lots of hassles, but our DC SIX or Millennium can both convert to
whatever you want.

If you're working with a stereo 45 or LP, this won't even be
an issue. But if you're working with an old 78 recording, though your
heart tells you to record in Mono, there may be some significant benefits to
recording in Stereo. One of these benefits will be the ability to choose
between groove walls. In some cases, this flexibility could give you one
wall with much better audio information than the other. Having both
recorded separately allows you to reassemble your audio using the best audio
information that you possess. After recording your file into the system,
DC SIX will allow you to jump back and forth between left and right so that you
can determine if there is a significant difference between the two.
